Excerpt

Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of the eyelid is a rare malignant tumor which originates primarily from the conjunctiva or from the skin [1]. We report an advanced case of ACC involving the entire upper eyelid and the medial canthal region. This condition was treated by radical surgical resection and reconstruction using three local flaps plus an auricular cartilage graft. This obtained satisfactory functional and aesthetical results. To our knowledge only five cases of primary conjunctival ACC [1] and four cases of primary cutaneous ACC [2] of the eyelids have been described to date, and the case herein reported is the first involving the entire upper eyelid together with the medial canthal region. …
